\t\t\t\tThe Federal Reserve Board has ordered Morgan Stanley (MS) <\/a>to retain an independent consultant to evaluate foreclosures initiated by former subsidiary Saxon Mortgage Services in 2009 and 2010. Saxon, which intends to shut down its processing center in Forth Worth, is accused of engaging in a “pattern of misconduct and negligence” related to residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processing. The order mandates that Morgan Stanley compensate homeowners who were hurt financially because of certain deficiencies, including wrongful foreclosures.<\/p>\n

Per the Fed, Saxon initiated at least 6,313 foreclosures against homeowners during the years cited above. Regarding certain actions, Saxon is accused of failing to confirm ownership and other information, not properly notarizing signatures, failing to implement proper controls and oversight, and neglecting to adequately staff and fund its operations to handle the increase in foreclosures.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley had bought Saxon for $706 million during the housing bubble. Earlier this month, the financial firm completed its sale of the mortgage lender to Ocwen Financial of Florida. In the wake of the sale, Morgan Stanley is no longer involved in mortgage servicing. However, should the financial firm reenter this market while the Consent Order is still in effect, it will have to execute better risk-management, corporate governance, compliance, servicing, borrower communication, and foreclosure practices similar in quality to what mortgage servicers who had to abide by enforcement actions in 2011 had to implement.<\/p>\n
